Have these lasted long? I've read other bulb reviews that say these types don't last long? What is the Watt output?

We've only had them for a month or so, so I can't answer how long they last, but the light from them is very dim...probably equivalent to about 20 watts incandescant light.

They purport to last 2000 hours. This current bulb has lasted a little over 1200 hours so far and it's in really good condition. Are you getting the "Replace Lamp" warning?

Have 3 lamps and use daily and have had them 9-12 months and have not had a bulb burn out. Knock on wood!! Very pleased with lamps.

Mine lasted a year, but I have never seen this type of bulb before, but i replaced mine with a regular bulb and it worked fine.

worked great for me. Bad bulb? or short circuit? or wrong wattage match up?

I have not used for long period. But, I hope them to last very long. Originally, installed bulbs worked for about 10 years as under cabinet lighting.

I've had ours up and on most of the time since we purchased them this past summer (we have them strung on the shelf under the TV). So far, no burned out bulbs, but just like regular (i.e. non-LED) xmas-type lights, you can always replace the individual bulbs.

Oh forgot, don't touch the bulb, with your fingers, use clean gloves or paper towels, that`s properly why your bulb went out to begin with. I have some there lasted for 8 - 9 years.

I am not sure how long they last as I installed them to use as reverse lights to shine on my trailer hitch and they work great. The bulb can't be replaced and if it ever blows you will have to replace whole light.

Unfortunately there is no rating on the box or the bulbs themselves. If it helps, they are as bright as any 500w bulb I've used before. Like I said in my review, though, 2 of the bulb were DOA. I have one installed that I have been using for over two weeks and it is good, still bright.

One bulb lasted 2 years and the other about 2.5. The OEM bulbs I have back in have lasted about 13 years and are still going. They are not nearly as bright.

They lasted a few months, but now a lot of them are burnt out. Although to be fair the other brands did the same thing, and had about the same life in my under cabinet lights. I am starting to wonder if something is wrong with the light fixture itself maybe.

Cant say on the new replacements I bought; they have 1 and 8 months respectively on them. One original bulb lasted about 10 months, and the other 3.

I think that the bulbs will last a long time and you won't need to replace them any time soon. I do know that it is 100% lifetime guarantee on them. I believe that the company would replace them should anything go wrong or they stop working. You might want to check with the company on what their guarantee is.Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

I don't use the bulbs that much, But I have some over several years......... They do last a long time....... but I'm not able to get you an hour count...........

These last longer than EICO-brand lamps (about 2-3x) but these are not the Hella long-life lamps. The long-life is H83135041. These last substantially longer than any others we have used. They are also not quite as bright and have a slight yellow tinge to them. We used these bulbs in machine tool lamps and it requires $10 in labor to replace them, plus machine down time. The long life Hella or the unit in question here we find are both good solutions. We currently are in trials with GE bulbs, but have no results at this time.

Hey Donald this is Mark, I have used these bulbs now for seven months with no burn outs. I think they are rated for 12v to 24v. They use about 3 watts. Good Luck Mark.
